(looking through my irrationally large collection of instrument
clusters-- 6 pre-86, 2 late model)
OK, so sitting in front of the cluster and craning your neck forward
to look down behind it, and pulling the wiring harness connector off
and moving it (don't turn it!) to where you can see it:

early type: connector is vertical; turn signal is the bottom most one
late type: connector is horizontal; turn signal is the fifth one over,
counting from the left
